Nour Sallam is a literary agent at The Caldwell Agency representing adult fiction and nonfiction. As an Arab woman and an immigrant, she loves books that amplify joy and connection or feature complex and nuanced narratives.
In fiction, Nour works on commercial and upmarket fiction titles across genres— from smart book club, women’s fiction, and romcom to edgy psychological thrillers, mysteries, and horror. She generally gravitates towards voicey characters that are haunted by something: a secret, a past, a fear— or an actual haunting!
In nonfiction, Nour welcomes fresh and accessible perspectives in both the narrative and prescriptive categories. She works across self-help, health and wellness, psychology, business, and lifestyle. She also loves personal narratives on pop culture, art, and nature. Her taste in non-fiction favours books that challenge what we know or explain what we might not know.
